Possession

Liam turned around and found Rush standing in front of him in the hospital pant and shirt only. His condition did not look too good. Liam could sense Rush's distress and the worry etched on his eyes was proof enough that he was right. 

Before Liam could make a move, Rush was running to him at full speed. In less than a second Liam was thrown a step back with the force that Rush's body collided with his, engulfing him in his arms. 

"You fucking bastard!" Rush growled with a shaky voice, "I thought I am never going to see you again."

Liam could not describe in words the happiness that was flowing through his veins while his heart thrummed in happiness. He had not dared to imagine Rush's reaction after waking up, thinking he would be furious, mad, sad, everything else but this. And he... well he was definitely not complaining at all.

His arms tightened around Rush's torso, engulfing him in a dear hug and squeezing the life out of him, "I... Just shut up!" he spat heavily and buried his face in Rush's neck, trying to hide the tears that slipped out of his eyes freely.

After so many months, so many fucking deep, exasperating, exhausting ride of emotions, he had Rush in his arms and it felt like the life had come back to him, like his soul had returned in his body and the only thing that mattered was staying like this forever without worrying about anything else.

"I have missed you like hell, dude!" Liam whispered through a heavy voice.

"You are an idiot who did this to us." Rush growled, a bit angrily while trying to pull away. But Liam tightened his hold, keeping Rush in his arms while his hand slipped up to the back of Rush's neck, caressing softly as he murmured,

"I know."

They let a few minutes of solace pass between their bodies before pulling back to stare at each other with a smile. And then like a bulb popped in Rush's eyes, his eyes widened and realization downed on him upon why he had come here in the first place.

"EVA?!" he practically shouted, looking around hastily, "Where is she? Is she alright? They said they were going to kill her, Liam!"

"Calm down!" Liam hurried to explain, "She is..."

"I will not fucking calm down!" Rush spat hurrying towards the closed door of the house and trying to find something or someone, "Where the hell is she?"

"She is not here, Rush." Liam shouted as his worry for Rush increased seeing his disheveled state and stress,  "She is back at home."

"What home?!" Rush shouted angrily, "THIS is our home! Where the hell is she? Tell me truthfully or honest to God I..."

"WILL YOU FUCKING LISTEN TO ME?!" Liam finally lost control over his temper and shouted, "She is okay now!"

Liam's words brought a bit of solace to Rush but he still was not convinced. He needed to see Eva with his own eyes to confirm that she was okay.

"Take me to her." He ordered, rushing to the car that Liam had come in.

"You need to listen to me first!" Liam rushed to explain while running after him, "This is not what she..."

"Do not fuck with me right now, Liam." Rush glared at him while catching the car handle and looking at him fixedly, "Take. Me. To. My Wife!"

"You are not understanding!" Liam cried out in frustration, "She is... She will not recognize you!"

"What the hell do you mean?" Rush shouted, grabbing Liam's collar and shaking with fury, "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS GOING ON LIAM?!"

Liam clutched Rush's arm and caressed soothingly in an attempt to lower his stress, it was not good for him at all right now, "Okay. Just relax a bit. I will explain everything to you."

*****

Liam and Rush drove back home to Eva in silence. Liam had let Rush know of everything that happened. From planning of Michael to Aster's succubus control over him and Eva's memory loss after the attack. After hearing about Aster's magic powers over Liam, Rush's anger decreased a bit but he had not completely forgiven Liam.

Eva's memory loss on the other hand was a matter of worry to the both of them. Liam explained that Eva's memory was completely wiped out. She could not even remember her name, leave alone the truth of both of them being werewolves.

They had decided upon keeping the werewolf thing discreet from Eva for now. She was still not fully recovered yet and there was no way in hell they were going to put any kind of stress over her right now. 

Preparing internally for the look that Eva was going to give him, the one that is going to hurt like a bitch, Rush prepared himself for the hell of it. 

Once they reached the new home, Rush got down from the car with Liam. They only one thing he wanted right now was to see Eva. He had already seen Liam and made sure he was okay. No matter how much he had hurt him and Eva by leaving, Liam was still their mate and his brother.

"Everything is going to be alright, okay?" Liam said ligh, sliding his hand over Rush's shoulder and squeezing lightly in assurance, "Just be calm and see how her reaction is."

Rush nodded his head in nervousness and opened the main door to enter inside the hall. He had barely taken one step in when a foreign scent of other werewolf hit him like a rock while his eyes dropped to the scene in front of him.

Eva was sitting on a single couch, scrunched up in a corner like a lamb ready to get eaten by a predator while a man loomed over her closely, crossing the lengths of personal space and looking down at Eva with hunger clear as hell on his fucking face for her.
